Ich will nochmal darauf hinweisen: Auch wenn ich nichts poste, ich surfe und bookmarke fleißig 🙂 . Meine del.icio.us Bookmarks füllen sich ständig weiter mit interessanten und kuriosen Links zu den Themen Software, Betriebssysteme, Do-it-yourself Hardware, .net und Linux/Solaris/Unix. Und … Continue reading →

I just uninstalled me’ ol’ Vista Service Pack Beta so I’m ready for the launch next month 😉 . Just a note to all other people doing the same: Don’t forget to disable IPv6 in your primary network connection again … Continue reading →

Da offensichtlich Verwirrung darüber aufkommt, was ich denn so an Animes schaue… H2O: Der typische Eroge Abfall, den man in jeder Season mit dabei hat. Nicht sonderlich unterhaltsam, aber was solls. Clannad: Immernoch Clannad, immernoch klasse. Ich liebe Umsetzungen von … Continue reading →

I know, I should’ve done this ages ago… but oh well. Now you can use OpenID instead of a regular login. I’m using this great plugin that basically does everything by itself. For some reason I’ve to use the subversion … Continue reading →

…comment on LVM and why I would never use it to keep my RAID system somewhat dynamic but that’d require me to actually gather some hard evidence that a ZFS system is much more scalable, easy to administer and mucho … Continue reading →

I have to setup a lot of systems. The sound processor on the mainboards are mainly variations of Realtek’s AC97 codec. About every company bundles it with some kind of custom software though. That makes finding the “right” driver a … Continue reading →

The nice thing about our mandatory education is that we sometimes tip topics that are not so common. So we talked about SELinux vs. AppArmor the other day (inconclusive, just a quick introduction) but I thought I’d give it a … Continue reading →

I just can’t refrain from testing blogging clients. Currently I’m playing around with a tool called Qumana which is available for free on OSX and Windows. It seems to be written in Java, so maybe giving it a spin on … Continue reading →

Shopping spree! Mainly for a presentation on FireWire I decided to get a nifty set of changers that’ll allow me to plug in my old 6-port IEEE1394a drives into the 4-port IEEE1394a port on my notebook. It’s quite trivial but … Continue reading →

Fehler schleichen sich gerne dann ein, wenn man glaubt alles unter Kontrolle zu haben. Vielleicht ist aufgefallen, dass in den letzten Wochen nicht alle Seiten auf Old-Home verfügbar waren. Das war so eine schöne Situation 🙂 . Der DynDNS Client … Continue reading →

For those of you that make use of the greatness of Greasemonkey I have a little something I found and instantly came to love: Autopagerize. Basically it’s a userscript that will turn about every page into a Google Reader-esque, content-pulling-while-scrolling … Continue reading →

I dare to say that this combination can be quite interesting. I know that in our busy times companies have to push out products fast. And believe me, I understand that. Pinky promise! But why, oh why, can’t you just … Continue reading →

Windows an sich ist furchtbar nutzlos. Nach der Grundinstallation hat man nur ein relativ ärmliches Betriebssystem mit minimaler Shell und kaum Konntektivitätstools wie SSH. Keine schönen Programmierereditoren wie VIm oder E, keine Office Suite (okay, brauchen viele Leute eh nicht). … Continue reading →

FeedDemon, one of the very best RSS readers is now available for free. Everyone in search of a very nice RSS reader for Windows should definetively take a look. What’s very nice about FeedDemon is the capability to sync up … Continue reading →

I’m pretty sure most people that have worked with a Macintosh know of a nifty editor called TextMate. You can best compare it to, for instance, Vim. Both editors are quite extendable, fun to use and feature an almost infinite … Continue reading →
